Dear Robert, Your wish is granted retroactively; just put
options(repos=c(CRAN="http://probability.ca/cran";, CRANextra="http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin";)) in your Rprofile.site file, which lives in R's etc directory (or in another appropriate startup file -- see ?Startup). Of course, you would adjust CRAN to point to a CRAN mirror near you. BTW, this isn't really a bug report, is it?
